Leah Remini’s Anti-Religious Snark Is Not Worth Your Dollars or Integrity
The American people are not stupid. Leah Remini’s stats are dismal for a reason. Every person who has talked to me about her show calls it stupid, self serving and frankly too ridiculous to be believed.

Dear Ms. Kickham,
Forgive me but I am failing to understand something.
Roseanne Barr made a tweet that should not have been tweeted. Frankly, the tweet was uncalled for and rightly she was censured. In fact, her show was cancelled despite the fact that she apologized.
Roseanne basically was bullying someone over Twitter and that should never be sanctioned.
And yet I hear that this network is renewing the failed Leah Remini show “The Aftermath”.
Leah Remini is a bully. If you have read any of the statements of people who know her, or seen the videos of those who have worked with her, you would know.
She has a show that lies and vilifies Scientologists. She does not vet the stories she puts out.
A&E asserts that they are a family network but are directly responsible for bullying by pushing out their filthy “reality” show (which is anything but reality). It has factually resulted in children being bullied at school, acts of violence against Church members and religious intolerance that must be experienced to be believed.
The American people are not stupid. Leah Remini’s stats are dismal for a reason. Every person who has talked to me about her show calls it stupid, self serving and frankly too ridiculous to be believed. It is self indulgent snarking and they want nothing of it.
However there is always a handful of insane and robotic psychopaths who have somehow invested her with “truth” and feel justified in abusing other people on her behalf.
This makes society more dangerous.
People do not forgive being manipulated, especially if they harm someone else based on false reasons conveyed to them by the media. As you advertise on this network we are concerned that you will enable them to continue this hurtful, un-American and anti-religious propaganda.
America is waking up.
And American is better than this. Whether they continue to perpetuate their harm is in part dependent on advertisers such as you.
Your ex-customer,
